NEW IMPACT INVESTMENT COMPANY RAISES £860,000 IN SEED FUNDING

Tickr, a new Impact Investment platform which enables people to invest in globally listed businesses that are committed to making positive social change, has raised £860,000 in seed round funding. This funding has come from key figures in the investment management industry, who have firmly demonstrated their confidence in Tickr’s mission to bring impact investing to everyone and make it the default way to invest.

The Tickr app, launching in the App Store in the coming weeks, allows users to invest in publicly listed global businesses that are dedicated to solving key issues affecting the world today. Companies are grouped into themes, making the app easy to use for first time investors. The app facilitates a growing demand amongst a new generation of investors for greater transparency, alongside a rising interest in businesses having a positive impact on the environment and society.

Tickr Co-Founders, Matt Latham and Tom McGillycuddy, both have over eight years’ experience in the investment management industry. They founded Tickr on the belief that firstly investments can, and should, provide lasting positive benefits across the globe, whilst also generating impressive financial returns. Secondly, that impact investing should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy and large institutions. The company has secured funding from key figures in the investment management industry, including SLJ Investment Partners B.V.

Following the seed round, Tom McGillyCuddy said, “Our success raising £860,000 investment at the seed stage is indicative of the wider changes sweeping the investment management industry, and we’re responding to a real appetite for socially conscious investing from the next generation of investors. We’re confident in the power of our platform to generate tangible, positive social change across the globe, and it’s a real indicator of the strength of our proposition to have received the trust of key figures from the industry as we approach our launch.”
